The tendency of a Hg(II) ion to strongly quench fluorescence of potential fluorescent sensors is explored. Fluorescence measurements show the expected order of the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect of Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Hg(II) ~ Cu(II), which is interpreted as

Clusters of boron atoms exhibit intriguing size-dependent structures and chemical bonding that are different from bulk boron and may lead to new boron-based nanostructures. We report a combined photoelectron spectroscopic and ab initio study of the 22- and 23-atom boron

A novel three-dimensional (3D) porous metal-organic framework, {[Cd(L)(H(2)O)]·3H(2)O}(∞) (1) (L-H(2) = 4,4'-(9,10-anthracenediyl)dibenzoic acid), was synthesized. 1 has a 3D framework formed by L connectors and the infinite {Cd(O(2)CR)(2)}(∞) secondary building units (SBUs). Compound 1 was characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry

We describe the challenges involved with extending the limited lateral size of two-dimensional polymers (2DPs). An amphiphilic monomer with three-fold symmetry is chosen to form an ideally tessellated monolayer at the air/water interface. Anthracene [4+4] photo-dimerization is chosen as the
